Posted on Sunday, November 05 at 11:51 by truepatriot
From El Universal: [Translation/summary] “Last week, the president-elect of Mexico, Felipe Calderon, met with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Among other things, they discussed the need to reinforce NAFTA. Other topics of discussion included the role of the Mexican military in maintaining security and the need for the two countries to strengthen commerce in such areas agricultural products and energy. The two leaders also discussed investment in the poorer zones of each country to reduce the need for mass migrations. They also shared a vision of the future for a North American Union that would include a consolidated currency. It is believed that a “solid and unified” currency is necessary to compete in the global economy….”

    Mexico, Felipe Calderon, met with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper<<

    Hopefully this was done with Bush approval. We would hate to see either party being punished for their indiscretion. Bush should be very pleased, now that he is being caressed on both sides now.

    Maybe one of those missiles Cuba/Venesuela might be saving for the Bush plane taking him to Paraguay could stray a touch west.......? Accidently of course (damn that inferior socialist technology anyway!)

    "In this first day of work - of both which he will remain in Canada -, the next Mexican agent chief executive met separately with Harper in the facilities of the Congress, and in the house of visitors distinguished with the president of the House of Commons, Peter Milliken; with Jack Layton, leader of the Party Neo-Demo'crata; Bill Graham, leader of the Liberal Party, and with Gilles Duceppe, leader of the Party Quebequense Block."

    The translation is from Altavista's Babel fish.


    It's not just Harper meeting with them. All the Political party leaders met Calderon in the visit. Let's see if we can get some answers from their offices.

    If they could force into place a "union" in Europe no matter how many people objected, they probably think that they can do it here too.

    When what the people think no longer has any meaning, the people in charge won't care what the people think.

    It is clear that the NAU is proceeding as if the people don't matter, which means that what we think no longer has any meaning to them.

    If what we think no longer has any meaning, then it's clear that we no longer live in a democracy.

    I just wonder what kind of intergration we'll have under the NAU what with fortress America being built "eyes in the sky, walls, fences, and armed patrol boats on the great lakes"??? I'm sure we'll all be able to move about freely, HAR HAR HAR !

    It's certainly clear that we need to *cough* DO SOMETHING about this.

    Forcing is not quite right, more it would be coercion and would have to be done by referendum. Here is an example of how a referendum would/might work.<br />
    <br />
    "PB: But all these countries that joined the European Union did so voluntarily.<br />
    VB: No, they did not. Look at Denmark which voted against the Maastricht treaty twice. Look at Ireland [which voted against the Nice treaty]. Look at many other countries, they are under enormous pressure. It is almost blackmail. Switzerland was forced to vote five times in a referendum. All five times they have rejected it, but who knows what will happen the sixth time, the seventh time. It is always the same thing. It is a trick for idiots. The people have to vote in referendums until the people vote the way that is wanted. Then they have to stop voting. Why stop? Let us continue voting. The European Union is what Americans would call a shotgun marriage."<br />

    It's a pretty good article detailing the problems of the EU and its non-governmental authority.<br />
